Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number below refers to the step number in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 1

    Service the ABS system before diagnosing for a misfire, because an actual engine misfire may or may not exist. The following examples illustrate how this DTC can be set with or without an actual engine misfire:
    • There was an actual engine misfire during an ABS system malfunction.
    • The vehicle operator drove on a rough road, the ABS system could not detect this condition due to a malfunction, and the PCM interpreted the variations in the crankshaft speed caused by the rough road as a misfire.
